At what point does Evinrude decide enough is enough......

I have lost 8 weeks on the water this summer due to issues with my E-Tec 150, brand new last August. All I want to know is when does this company decide a motor is a lemon and replaces it so that my brand new boat spends the summer on the lake rather in the repair shop. I don't want any more "we are sorry and understand your frustration". I just want the motor replaced. I will never trust it as it has left me stranded with a boat load of friends and family three different times in the span of three months. Just want this simple question answered.

I feel your troubles. First and foremost, I would highly suggest an extended warranty. We have two Etecs and have went through three power heads and a lower unit. Customer service has been great but to have that many issues below 500 hours is absurd. They might give you reasoning that it was your fault so be prepared to have all documentation. Like the oil you used and so forth. Save everything. Best of luck but make a call to them. It's a shame there really isn't a lemon law. Maybe suggest a but back or an extra he or extra warranty as you lost so much time.

look at the date of the post that you asked about, it was about a year ago. Most of the time the original posters never come back here to share what the fix was.
